It's Time

A woman, without her man, is nothing.
This is how some men think.
They say it with a smile, a nod
and a condescending wink.

It’s true we have punctuated and ruled the world
since history’s begun.
But when I look around the world today I have to ask...
Men...what have we done?

The world we have been ruling over
we have failed to advance.
Perhaps it’s time we stepped aside
and gave women their chance.

A chance to affirm something
they’ve known all along...
That the way we punctuate and govern
Is so completely wrong.

A chance to change the world for good
in it’s time of need...
A chance to to punctuate correctly
so this sentence now will read

A woman: without her...man is nothing...
because that’s what women think,
only they say it with confidence, with a smile
and without a condescending wink.
